roguebooks Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Delivery Day was cold, but pleasant at the Oliver Sales Office. Jason Essary was our orientation person and he was available by phone all day and night if I needed him. Jason was great! There is so much to learn for a "first-time" trailer person. There is no way Jason or anyone could fully indoctrinate a new owner to every nuance of the Oliver travel trailer. So as we camped, and tried to get comfortable with our new little home, there were situations that came up when I did not have a clue how to proceed. But a quick text or call to Jason and my problem was solved. We spent two nights at the Natchez Trace Campground. The weather was very cold and we used our fresh water tank instead of city hookup due to the threat a freezing. The heat in the trailer was very comfortable. We spent twelve nights in the Ollie as we made our way home to Melbourne. In that process we became not only comfortable, but halfway proficient trailer people. Beverly has learned quickly how to direct me as I back our rig into tight places, and I have learned a few tricks along the way. All my initial worries and concerns have gone by the wayside. We love our Ollie and look forward to hitting the road in mid-April for eight months on the road as full-time nomads. 8 roguebooks 2020 Ram Classic 1500 Warlock 4x4 Hemi V-8 2018 Legacy Elite, Hull #309 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators topgun2 Posted March 19, 2018 Moderators Share Posted March 19, 2018 Rogue - Good for you guys! There is a bunch to learn, but, it really isn't too bad if one does not let the situation overwhelm them. As you did, when the situation gets to the point where you realize you don't really know what to do, settle down for a minute of two and think about how the process or item should work. Many times just thinking it through will get you towards the correct answer. Now you have a short bit of time to make personal improvements to you Ollie before you start on your eight month nomad trip. Many suggestions can be found here under "modifications". The fun has only just begun.
